“I spent my days in Mukundgarh exploring the town, looking for the most beautiful havelis with the best murals … For me it was a joy to spend time in a small Rajasthani town … it felt good to be a part of the place and to get to know some of the people who live and work there.”
Christopher Corr, Artist, February 2024
